Australian Soft Launch We are super proud to announce that, Football Heroes has soft launched in Australia to test the live servers and basic game functionality. If you have access to the Australian store please check it out and help us stress-test the current build. https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/football-heroes/id543009156?mt=8 ** NOTE - This is not the final release code for the worldwide launch. Many bug fixes and optimizations are missing from the soft-launch build. **
Thanks for choosing Australia I've been waiting for this game for a very long time. I'll be picking it up soon, and post any thoughts here.
Thank you for your support. iPad version is live in Australia today. Search for Football Heroes HD and check it out Please let me know if you have any issues.
I've been playing it for a while now, and I have noticed a few problems. First of all, the game runs very slow on the iPod 4. (So much that it is unplayable) it lags in a game, and pretty much everywhere except the main menu. However, it runs smoothly on an IPhone 5. Some minor things: sometimes when a player throws the ball, they are facing the wrong way. The bunny P team has no team description (not sure about the rest) Other than these minor issues (minor except the first one) this game seems polished and very fun. Ill continue playing and write here if I find anything else. On a side note, what happened to the features in the pre-alpha version? Eg skill trees.. I really liked that idea also, I've never followed/played football in my life, and Im wondering if you can pass the ball? (Dont laugh at me if this question is stupid lol) Ill check out multiplayer next.
Thanks for checking out the build Popjam. iPod4 - iPod 4 is our worst case scenario. I am actually surprised you were able to get the game to run at all on that device. We are going to continue to optimize and get that platform running better. In the meantime please accept our apologies. BunnyP - Description has been fixed in the next build we will push live. Skill Trees - during the prototyping/playtesting process we discovered that people were not using the skill trees, pretty much at all. It was all too nested, so we refactored the design Passing - No laughing, its confusing if you have not played a lot of Football games. To be able to pass the ball select a play in the PASS (Big buttons at the bottom of the playbook: RUN, PASS, KICK) category in the playbook. Pass plays have arrows showing the routes your receivers will run. Then tap on the player you want to throw to. Multiplayer - Is very broken in the version you have. We discovered this post release. We have this fixed in the upcoming submission. Thank You

Unfortunately the iPod 4 and iPhone 4 perform poorly still. I will keep you updated as optimizations are introduced. Please do not lose faith as we will make improvements throughout development as well as post release. Thank You
